Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2530423A1] The system (1) has a fluid communication unit (6) allowing portions of inner and outer tubes (3, 4) to communicate with each other. A sealing unit (7) e.g. flap, is carried by the inner tube, and slides against an inner wall of the outer tube during movement of the inner tube. A movement unit (8) e.g. telescopic cylinder, moves the inner tube from a retracted position to a deployed position and vice-versa according to slow and rapid movement paths for pressurized water back flow into the inner tube, at rear of underwater vehicle (2) via the communication unit, to push and eject the vehicle.
